Stockholders' Equity Attributable to Parent [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST Stockholders' Equity Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component Comprehensive income (loss) includes:
• | Foreign currency translation adjustments;
• | Net deferred loss on cash flow hedges, which represents deferred losses, net of tax on interest rate related derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, net of amounts reclassified to interest expense (see Note 10).
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the tax effects related to the deferred losses on cash flow hedges were not material. Foreign currency translation adjustments related to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are not adjusted for income taxes. Dividend Program During the first quarter of 2019, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per common share. During each of the first three quarters of 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per common share. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per common share. Share Repurchase Program As of March 31, 2019, $542 million remained available under the Company’s share repurchase authorizations. The share repurchase authorization has no set expiration or termination date. Share Repurchases For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock for $50 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock for $50 million. Shares Reissued from Treasury Stock For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reissued 0.4 million shares and 0.6 million shares, respectively, from treasury stock for shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and stock option plans. For details regarding the Company's stock ownership and compensation plans, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the sale of an 18.9% noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to UMass Memorial Medical Center ("UMass") on July 1, 2015, the Company granted UMass the right to require the Company to purchase all of its interest in the subsidiary at fair value commencing July 1, 2020. The subsidiary performs diagnostic information services in a defined territory within the state of Massachusetts. Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interest is outside of the Company's control, it has been presented outside of stockholders' equity at the greater of its carrying amount or its fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value of the noncontrolling interest immediately as they occur. As of March 31, 2019, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was presented at its fair value. The fair value measurement of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is based on a discounted cash flow analysis that takes into account, among other items, the joint venture's expected future cash flows, long term growth rates, and a discount rate commensurate with economic risk.
